We present measurements of the time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in B{sup 0}{yields}K{sub S}{sup 0}K{sub S}{sup 0}K{sub S}{sup 0} decays based on 384x10{sup 6} {upsilon}(4S){yields}BB decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We obtain the CP asymmetry parameters C=0.02{+-}0.21{+-}0.05 and S=-0.71{+-}0.24{+-}0.04, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These results are consistent with standard model expectations.
